Jo Cammack, director, said: “Palletways has a great reputation in the industry and we’re looking forward to working with the team in Fradley. Partnering with Palletways will open up a lot of opportunities for growth thanks to its wide geographical footprint and its state of the art IT systems which will boost our operational efficiencies and customer service.”
